helicopter was shot down


Was not shot down. Got caught in the airwash from the compound wall and hit wall damaging tail. That is why there are always back ups.

Everyone cried about the press losing their normal ability to freely roam the pentagon soliciting leaks, but notice how the military just pulled off an incredible top secret rescue operation without any Bolshevik subversion gumming things up

So many are massively triggered by the success of this operation.


I think people are ‘triggered’ by being told this would last “two weeks” and it has turned into a clusterfrick where we are having to extract soldiers.

Pretty sure most special forces operations like this “almost” fail. A lot can go wrong.


Nah man, before Trump every military ops ever was perfect and went exactly to plan. The whole teaching operators mental toughness during training was only to prepare them for Trump’s failures.

It’s amazing that these TDS morons would rather see Iran win the war than Trump get any credit for anything.

If Obama did the exact same thing they would all be slurping on his nuts.

So we are just supposed to let this guy fend for himself in the foothills of Iran. Got it.

When I heard the news of the rescue I told the wife: 'I wonder how the left is gonna spin this as a Trump failure.' We couldn't think of anything. But the left came through!

If you read comments on liberal sites about this operation, all the comments are negative towards Trump and bringing up Epstein. They really do have TDS.
